Culture Documents
This document contains the encounter rates for each area with wild Pokémon in the games. Areas
are listed roughly in the order that they become accessible. There are no version exclusives or
differences, so this applies to both games; all 807 Pokémon can be obtained in either version. If a
Pokémon isn’t listed here, it’s probably a Legendary and will have its location listed in the
Special Encounters document instead. Use ctrl + f to find specific Pokémon quickly!
Because each patch of grass in the Generation VII games has its own encounter table, each route
boasts a massive variety of Pokémon to catch (though I tried not to go overboard with this!). This
document includes maps of most areas that take advantage of this feature, which show exactly
which patches of grass contain which Pokémon. Circled numbers on the maps are grass patches
that correspond to tables labelled “Grass 1”, “Grass 2”, etc. as shown in the map of Route 1
below.

Some areas will also have a few encounters that change based on time of day; these are shown
using colour coded text and columns (“inspired” by Bulbapedia’s system). The first column
shows a Pokémon’s encounter rate during the day, while the second column shows its encounter
rate at night:
Grass 1
Levels: 2-3
Species Rate (%)
Yungoos 20 0
Rattata 0 20
Finally, any Kantonian forms of Pokémon with Alolan forms are listed in red text. Most of them
can be found via SOS battles with their respective Alolan forms.
